* Adds semi-transparent colored fullscreen overlays which are used by glasses with tint_color.
Currently only red, blue, and green are available. And only nightvision glasses currently have a tint_color when worn (green).
* Completely rewrites how I did color tinting. We now use datum/client_colour and the client's color var.
I fixed items in our inventory UI being colored when using client.color.
I added an altclick() option on all glasses to toggle a new pref regarding the use of glass coloring your view.
I made a lot more glasses use vision coloring.
I fixed Thermal HUD Scanner not having its action button to switch hud type.
I'm unhappy with the way revenants are right now, and my code for them is pretty unsatisfactory in comparison to what I know now. Although revenants will still fill the same role of just being spookier ghosts, they'll be a bit more passive - incapable, for instance, of giving diseases to people. The new revenants will be called umbras and will use vitae instead of essence.
Total change list:
Revenants have been renamed to umbras. Essence has been renamed to vitae. This may be temporary.
Umbra spawn events are now weighted higher and spawn an unoccupied umbra. Ghosts are alerted to the umbra's position and may interact with it to take control of it.
Umbras' health is not based on vitae but has a hard cap at 100.
Umbras have a passive vitae drain each tick, defaulting at 0.01. If the umbra runs out of vitae, they will die irrevocably. They also slowly regenerate health by doing this.
When an umbra dies, they leave behind umbral ashes that reform after one minute. They're difficult to see and can be scattered by activating them, although they also have high research levels if you're fast enough.
Harvesting vitae from critical targets no longer kills them. Harvesting a target in general prohibits them from being harvested until five minutes later, but they can be drained again after that.
EMPs revitalize umbras and give them hefty amounts of vitae due to their physical nature.
Umbras have four abilities: Toggle Nightvision, Discordant Whisper, Possess, and Thoughtsteal.
Toggle Nightvision is self-explanatory.
Discordant Whisper is identical to the original revenant's transmit.
Possess allows the umbra to slip into a human's body unnoticed. While in their body, umbras will slowly drain vitae from the human at a tiny rate - not enough to cause harm, but enough to induce adverse effects in the clueless human. These effects intensify over time and eventually lead to the umbra being forced out of their host.
Thoughtsteal paralyzes a living human for several seconds while the umbra steals their memories. After several seconds, the umbra copies the notes of the target's memories and turns invisible - the hapless victim is stunned for several seconds afterwards and can't be Thoughtstolen by the same umbra again. Umbras have an objective to steal the memories of 25% of the station's population.
Salt piles have been added, created by salt shaker or just by splashing salt. These piles will prevent an umbra from passing and reveal them briefly if they try.
* Actually fixes announcements the right way
* Flips the SOUND_ANNOUNCEMENTS bitflag so that having it means you hear announcements
* Updates the save file version
Caveat: All humanized monkeys will still be human, I tried to fix this but thanks to what seems to be a race condition doing so made roughly 50% of all humans drop dead at the first life tick.
Updates the race list in game_options.txt. Our servers don't auto update config files, so this is just for anyone who makes a server going forward.
+Ghost hair is now brighter than before.
+Added a new preference ghost_accs that stores what you want your own ghost to display.
+Added a new preference ghost_others that stores what you want other people's ghosts to display.
Department Backpacks are now the default(instead of grey backpacks).
Fixed an error on humans where new humans would have an integer for their backpack.
This will not affect current preferences.
* Orbit is now less reliant on Animate(), for most ghosts this means 36 calls to Animate, vs the previous INFINITE, for those of you with potato computers, this should ease the pain and crashing.
* Orbits can now be something different to circles!
* Ghosts Byond Members can now choose between orbits! (Circle, Triangle, Square, Hexagon)
be_special and antag defines are no longer limited to 16 values (1 - 32768) by being changed from a bitfield to a list, an appropriate block of code exists to automatically update bitfield versions to the new list format. the list format allows us to have (functionally) infinite antag types.
